US Urologist Compensation Reaches $566,740 in Doximity’s 2026 Report

Average annual compensation for US urologists reached $566,740 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for physicians working in the specialty.

US urologists recorded average annual compensation of $566,740, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides urologists with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating their compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice.

Key findings

Doximity reports average annual compensation of $566,740 for urologists in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report.

For urologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty combining long-term medical management with diagnostic, office-based and surgical procedures across a broad range of urinary and reproductive health conditions.

The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every urologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, subspecialty, procedural workload, patient volume, call responsibilities, practice setting and employment structure.

Urologist compensation reaches $566,740

The $566,740 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US urologists.

Urology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Depending on their practice, urologists may manage prostate disease, urinary tract disorders, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, male infertility and urological cancers.

Clinical activity can range from outpatient consultations and diagnostic procedures to minimally invasive interventions and complex surgery.

Individual urologists may also develop expertise in areas such as urologic oncology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, male reproductive medicine, stone disease or robotic surgery, creating considerable variation in practice profiles.

For urologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed.

What influences urologist compensation?

Urology combines outpatient care with substantial procedural and surgical activity, meaning patient volume, procedure mix, surgical workload and subspecialty focus can all be important when evaluating individual compensation.

A urologist with a significant operative or procedural workload may have a different compensation structure from a physician whose practice contains a greater proportion of outpatient management and follow-up care.

Call responsibilities can also influence the demands associated with individual positions, particularly for urologists providing emergency hospital coverage.

Geography, experience and employment model may further affect compensation. Urologists can work within hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, single-specialty groups and other practice structures, with compensation potentially incorporating base salary, productivity incentives and other contractual components.

These factors mean the $566,740 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every urologist.

What the latest figure means for urologists

For US urologists, $566,740 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position.

When evaluating an employment opportunity, urologists should consider headline compensation alongside expected patient volumes, surgical and procedural responsibilities, call commitments, working hours and productivity requirements.

Subspecialty and practice composition are particularly relevant. The workload and compensation expectations associated with a urologic oncology practice, for example, may differ substantially from those of a practice focused primarily on general urology or another subspecialty.

The latest Doximity figure therefore provides urologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the clinical and contractual characteristics of a particular role.

About the data

The Doximity 2026 Physician Compensation Report provides compensation benchmarks across a wide range of US medical and surgical specialties.

The specialty figures represent average compensation and should be treated as national benchmarks. An individual urologist’s compensation may differ according to geography, experience, subspecialty, procedural activity, patient volume, call responsibilities, practice setting and other professional factors.
